"I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on" -My Chemical Romance

Shadow.
Light.
Sun.
Stone.
Breath.
Life.
Death.
Love.
Free.
Words.
Are meaningless.
Without feelings.
So let's try again.
Drenched in shadow, nowhere to go.
Emerging into the light and spreading your wings.
The sun seeping into your soul.
Hard stone beneath your feet as you run.
Your breath taking space.
Life is looming for you.
Death tempting the unwary.
Love is broken, yet possible.
Free to own the world.
Your words finally heard.
